    If you’re struggling with sleep, here’s some tricks that I’ve learned:

    • try to avoid drinking more than 400mg caffeine in a day
    • stop drinking caffeine after noon
    • keep a standard bed time and wake up time
    • don’t play the “5 more minutes” game

      #1- Have your Vitamin D levels checked with some blood work

      https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8912284/

      It’s the most common underlying cause of sleep issues. I work outside in the sun regularly. I still came up Vit D deficient.

      #2 - Have your Doctor check for other underlying sleep issues. There are many and they can be very dangerous to your health.

      Then do all the others.

      + Don’t look at phone in bed, whether waking up or going to.

      + get sunlight as earlier after waking up as poasible.

      My bathroom has a lot of natural light so i figure it counts, but i seem to feel best when i go for a stroll in the morning/walk to work or to a bus stop.
